Editing Mussorgsky family (section)

== History ==
In the genealogy of the Princes of Smolensk, which is in the [[Velvet Book]] and other genealogical works, it is shown that the great-grandson of [[Grand Prince of Kiev|Great Prince]] Vladimir Svyatoslavich, [[Vladimir the Great]], who [[Christianization of Kievan Rus'|christianized the Rus' land]], the Grand Duke Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh had a son [[Mstislav I of Kiev|Mstislav, Prince of Smolensk]], and this one had a son [[Rostislav I of Kiev|Rostislav, Prince of Smolensk]]. The aforementioned Prince Mstislav had a great-grandson, Grand Duke [[Yury of Smolensk|Yuri Svyatoslavich of Smolensk]]. After the death of his father Yuri, the underaged Prince Alexander was taken by his grandmother – Princess Nastasia – who bought him a [[votchina]] (estate) in the [[Belozersk|White Lakes]], became a nun and nursed him in the monastery, from which he was called {{ill|Alexander the Monastery|ru|Александр Юрьевич Монастырь}} ({{lang|ru|Александр Юрьевич Монастырь}}), and from him, the Monastyrevs started. Children of Alexander had lost the titles of Princes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Герб рода Аладьиных|trans-title=Coat of arms of the Aladyin family|url=https://gerbovnik.ru/arms/613.html |website=gerbovnik.ru |publisher=[[General Armorial of the Noble Families of the Russian Empire]] |access-date=7 January 2021 |language=ru}}</ref>

The {{ill|Aladyin family|ru|Аладьины}} was the only family of Monastyrevs stock, including the Monastyrevs themselves, to receive a coat of arms from the ruling [[Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov]] dynasty. In 1857, Historian [[Pyotr Dolgorukov (historian)|Pyotr Dolgorukov]] did not deny their ancestry but explicitly questioned their future existence, writing only 5 lines about the family, finishing the paragraph with the anti-punctuation [?.] two signs together: "For their origin, see the previous article about the Monastyrevs. Lyapun and Tretyak, the Yakov children, the Musorgskies, were granted estates in the Moscow district on 2 October 1550. Two Mussorgskys owned inhabited estates in 1699. The coat of arms of this family is not in the armorial, and we doubt whether it [the feminine word for 'family' in Russian is also identical to 'surname' in English] still exists today?."<ref>{{cite book|last=Dolgorukov|first=Pyotr|author-link=Pyotr Dolgorukov (historian)|chapter=Мусоргскiе|trans-chapter=Mussorgsky|title=Российская родословная книга|trans-title=Russian Genealogical Book|volume=4|date=1857|publisher=К.
